T is for Trespass (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries)

Sue Grafton

Putnam Adult, 2007

Grafton Is Back!
I loved this newest tale in the Kinsey Millhone series. Like a lot of readers, I had begun to think Sue Grafton had run her course and couldn't come up with anything exciting and new. Trespass was a great read. I couldn't put it down. I sincerely hope the rest of the ...

How to Be Invisible: The Essential Guide to Protecting Your Personal Privacy, Your Assets, and Your Life ...

J.J. Luna

Thomas Dunne Books, 2004

A must read for everyone
I read the silliness written by "Miss Deplume" and shook my head. It is wrong and ignorant at best and I hope the thinking person will see this shoddy review is FAR outweighed by the postive comments. We review our book regularly and are slowly instituting measures ...

Stealing Lumby

Gail Fraser

NAL Trade, 2007

Gail Fraser has done it again!
This was such a delightful book, so I hope my review will help others to find this gem. (I'm one of the many guilty of writing reviews only when I feel very strongly that it is good or bad.) The 2nd book in the Lumby series is as good as the first. It's so nice to ...

Night Train to Memphis

Elizabeth Peters

Grand Central Publishing, 1995

Where, Oh Where
Where, oh where, is another Vicky Bliss novel? Although I'm a major fan of the Amelia Peabody series, beginning with Crocodile On A Sandbank, I'm also a fan of Vicky Bliss (is it just me, or do others find her last name amusing, given her determination to be taken ...

Laughter of Dead Kings (Vicky Bliss, No. 6)

Elizabeth Peters

William Morrow, 2008

Waited so long

The Moonstone (Modern Library Classics)

Wilkie Collins

Fantastic Mystery!
I have to admit that until I did a mystery search, I hadn't even heard of Wilkie Collins. Wilkie Collins name came up, along with a description of The Moonstone as being "the best of modern English detective novels" (as quoted by T.S.Eliot). Big words, indeed. With ...

Cam Jansen and the Mystery of the Stolen Diamonds (Cam Jansen)

David A. Adler

Puffin, 2004

Cam Jansen and the Mystery of the Stolen Diamonds was great!
I liked the book a lot! Only you can't put it down! I thought it was very exciting and surprising. The best part was when Cam was in the house. I won't say any more because you should read it yourself, because you will like it too.
